ARUGENERIC ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND MARKING STANDARDS : LEVEL6–the Depthstage

 

Level 6 is characterised by an expectation of students’ increasing autonomy in relation to their studyanddevelopingskillsets.Studentsareexpectedtodemonstrateproblemsolvingskills, both theoretical and practical. This is supported by an understanding of appropriate theory; creativity of expression and thought based in individual judgement; and the ability to seek out, invoke, analyse and evaluate competing theories or methods of working in a critically constructive and open manner. Output is articulate, coherent and skilled in the appropriate medium, with some students producing original or innovative work in their specialism.
